We tend to break down the architecture into different config files based
on the client name; and as we have 2 nagios servers, we have a script
that when run does a reload on the "master" server, and if it restarts
sucessfully, scp's the config files to the other server. Not quite
"Enterprise Management", but for us it's the next best thing and works
well.
